Aug 27/68/ Dr W. Ogle tells me that a son of one of Twin Ladies has the same teeth on one side alone, misplaced like as a mother. — a child of one of her Brother has one little finger crooked.—

[Variation 2: 253: "Under this point of view the following case, which has been carefully examined and communicated to me by Dr. William Ogle, is highly instructive. Two girls, born as twins, and in all respects extremely alike, had their little fingers on both hands crooked; and in both children the second bicuspid tooth in the upper jaw, of the second dentition, was misplaced; for these teeth, instead of standing in a line with the others, grew from the roof of the mouth behind the first bicuspids."]
